Our Plan God's Plan

The night was cloudy, the sky looked dark without any stars and moons, then the rain started to sound. Tik.. tik.. tik. is so clear that the sound of rainwater falling right on the roof of Aini's room. Aini approached the window of her room that had been closed tightly while looking at the speckle after speck of rain falling, imagined by her memory six years ago. Aini's mind seemed previous with her memories with the men who had been her boyfriend. Aini began to daydream and remember the memory while standing sweetly in front of the window of her room.

“Rey” is Aini's first girlfriend while still sitting in high school, Aini has been in a relationship for approximately 3 years with him. But Ms. Aini did not approve of their relationship because of religious differences. Although there are many memories that have been passed with Rey, but Aini still has to follow the advice of her mother. “Deni” is the second man Aini chose after breaking up with Rey. Aini recognized Deni when he was just a student at Private College majoring in Education Science, because from a young age Aini aspired to become a Teacher. While Deni is only a man who lives in a village, but Aini still accepts as it is, but again Aini must be patient because her mother also does not like Deni. Deni does have a belief in him, but Deni is not yet established for him, said Ms. Aini. Then “Darma”, he is Aini's third girlfriend after breaking up with Deni. Darma is Aini's brother's man of choice. Aini's fate is again not approved of the relationship because her mother said that Darma does not know the origin of her family. And finally Aini's love relationship also ended miserably.

Thinking about the memories of the past with three men who were never approved by her mother, made Aini so crushed her heart and sad. Aini begins to be insecure and disappointed by her mother's treatment, Aini is saddened by her mother's actions that over-regulate her personal life. Finally Aini decided not to want to have a boyfriend again, she closed the door of her heart tightly even though many men want to approach her. Aini thought to what has a girlfriend who is always arranged by her mother? he was not given the confidence to fight for his own choices. At this time Aini has succeeded in becoming a scholar, she is very happy because she has completed her education, but there is one thing that makes Aini sad, because she does not have a boyfriend at graduation.

While so long fantasizing about his past, suddenly heard the song “My Love-West Life” from his mobile phone. Aini was separated from her long daydream, she rushed to the voice, when she took her phone turned out to be Adam. Adam is a man who often contacts Aini, even though Aini has told all his bitter stories, but Adam still wants to approach him. Adam was eager to meet Aini's mother, but Aini never allowed it. For so long Aini did not want to open her heart to any man, finally Aini's heart was broken because of the arrival of Adam in his life. He saw something different from Adam, Aini was always reminded and given positive advice by Adam. Adam does not want a relationship more than a friend, because he knows that Aini is experiencing despair in a relationship. Adam tried to understand what Aini felt, and they ended up in a good relationship even though it could not be said as two lovebirds who were dating. Aini decides not to date but only as a friend but has a heart that is equally shadowing, she is afraid that her relationship will break up again in the middle of the road.

The days that Aini went through were even more beautiful because of Adam who always had the same thoughts as him. Although occasionally Ibu Aini asks when Aini will get married, but Aini only answers questions Mother who is actually heavy for him with a sweet smile. Mother said that Aini's age was increasing and it was appropriate that she married. But you never realize who your child is getting married to? While he always arranged and did not approve of his relationship with his choice. In a small heart Aini is eager to be given by God a man who is in accordance with the wishes of his mother, he always ber’a so that the Supreme Being is quick to find him with a good man who can melt the heart of Mother, and I will bless Aini's relationship with her choice.

Seven months passed, Adam who was still a regular employee at the place he worked, suddenly got good news from one of the companies he had applied for. Adam was asked to interview there, and thank God he was finally able to pass the test given properly and correctly. Meanwhile, Aini who still went to the post office to get information about job vacancies with a heavy heart returned home because there were no vacancies that she got there. Arriving at Aini's house saw there was one message on her phone, it turned out from Adam, when it opened, Aini read the contents of the message “Bidiku, I was called to interview this morning at the company we had applied for, I was called, and Thank God.. I can pass the test, and..”. Aini was stopped, because the contents of her message were cut off by a bad signal. Aini was waiting for the continuation of the message with a pale face, and finally the phone was vibrating again, Aini immediately quickly opened the contents of the message and it turned out “Alhamdulillah dear, Aini, I was instantly accepted to work there”. Adam said in his short message. Aini's eyes immediately glazed indicating that he was very grateful to God for granting their do’a.

A year has passed, Adam's work is getting better. And again good luck approached him, Adam got the opportunity from his boss to study for one year to increase his knowledge in the field of work, and Adam also accepted with goodwill to the boss. Adam was more grateful to God for granting do’a and bringing unexpected things to him. And finally, now that Adam works while studying, Adam's heart seems convinced that soon he will meet Aini's mother to propose Aini to be his life companion. While Adam was resting in his office, Aini suddenly contacted Adam.

Adam's voice immediately hoarse reply to the words of the girl he loved so much, “Alhamdulillah dear, this is God's plan to unite us, God, you heard yes sweet and kind mother teacher what I will say” said Adam a little firmly, with teary eyes Aini also answered “iya prince of heaven, said Adam, what are you gonna say? I'm willing to hear it”. “God willing... Tomorrow I will come home to see your mother, I want to propose to you sweet teacher” said Adam right in Aini's ear. But Aini said nothing to Adam. “Why are you silent? Isn't this what you wanted Ain to be? This is our plan, this is God's plan, you don't like it?” said Adam again. In a stammered voice Aini said “iya Dam, I want to accept you. I just shed my tears because it was so wonderful God's plan for us”. Aini said with a very happy heart.
